Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

With sub-zero temperatures all week I’ve not taken my camera out.  So here’s one I made (months) earlier: a simple photograph of a tree in Sefton Park Liverpool.

SkinVue9 Review

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

I’ve used David Burdick’s SkinVue since it first came out.  This handy tool for Vue speeds up the process of making Poser figures look good in Vue.  It can work with figures brought in as Poser, obj, or Collada import so both Poser and Daz Studio users can make use of it.  SkinVue can work […]

A Cold Picture for a Cold Day

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

It’s bitingly cold again today so I decided to post another picture I took last week when Liverpool was foggy and covered in frost. This one is of the thick frost on a section of the chain fences at the Albert Dock.

Monsters Review

Sunday, December 12th, 2010

With all of the different flavours of Vue now available I’ve spent a bit of time cleaning up my unofficial Vue News blog. I’ve even tweaked the Vue Squidoo lens although those get so little traffic I’m seriously tempted to knock them on the head.

The American

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

The American is probably the slowest film I’ve seen in a long time – it’s certainly the slowest thriller I’ve seen for several years.  Personally I really liked how slow it was but, as was the case for the friend I went to see it with, it could be too slow for many. George Clooney’s […]
